ROBERT S. GAMBRELL, OF HONEA PATH, SOUTH CAROLINA.

PICKER-HEAD HOLDER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ROBERT S. GAMBRELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Honea Pat-h, in the countyof Anderson and State of South Carolina, have invented new and useful Improvements in Picker-Head Holders, of which the following is a speciication. y

This invention comprehends the provision.

lowing detailed description is read in oon-' nection with the accompanying drawing, the inventionresiding in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts as claimed.

In the drawing forming part of the aD- plication like numerals of reference indie cate similar parts in the several views, and wherein- Figure 1 is a view in elevation showing -the manner of associating the pic-ker head with the picker stick in accorda-nce with the present invention.

Figure 2 isa sectional view taken on line Z-Q of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a similar view taken on line 3-3 of Figure 1.

Figure 4: is a detail view of the holder.

Referring to the drawing in detail. 10`

indicates a picker stick, the picker head being indicated at 1l.

The holder forming the subject matter of Specification of Letters Patent Patented v Aug. 15,

Application filed September 6, 1921. Serial No.,498,739.

the present invention is preferably construct= ed from suitable metal, and is of substantially U-shaped configuration, being designed to -straddle the stick 10, as illustrated in- Figure 1. The holder, is indicated at 12,

and may vary in `size withoutA departing from the spirit of the invention. The limbs 13 of the holder are inset from the cross member 14 to provide flanges k15 which affords the holder maximum strength and rigidity. Obviously, whenthe holder is associated with the stick 1() it reinforces `and braces the latter. The limbs 13 of the holder. are held inv face to face contact with the adjacent `sides of the stick 10 through the instrumentality of a sliding clamp 16, which l is provided with a set `screw 17.

Inpractice, the holder is slid through they Ahead 11, after which the holder is positioned upon the stick 10, as shown in Figurel.

Gef

The clamp 16 is then moved over the free ends of the limbs 18, bringing the latter into contact with the stick 10, and the vparts held fixed relatively by means vofthe set screw 17.

ing description the nature and advantages of the invention will be readily understood, l desire to have it known that I fdo not limit myself to what is herein shown and described, and" that such changes may be resorted to as fall within the scope of the appended claim.'

. 70 Vhile it is believed that from the forego lHaving thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, isr-` A picker head holder comprising a mem' ber including spaced limbs and a cross piece connecting the limbs at one end thereof, and

said limbs being inset with relation to thev I 1 cross piece to form inwardly directed flanges to reinforce and strengthen said holder as and for the purpose specified. y i

In testimony whereof I atfixmy signature.
